Answer:

  • advance: 20
  • same-day: 35

Step-by-step explanation:

You have tickets that sell for $25 and $15, and you sold 55 tickets for $1025. You want to know the number of each sold.

Setup

Let 'a' represent the number of advance tickets sold. Then 55-a is the number of same-day tickets sold. The total revenue is ...

  25a +15(55 -a) = 1025

Solution

  10a + 825 = 1025 . . . . . simplify

  10a = 200 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 825

  a = 20 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10; the number of advance tickets

  55 -20 = 35 . . . . the number of same-day tickets

20 advance tickets and 35 same-day tickets were sold.
